Isekai Nonbiri Sozai Saishu Seikatsu - Chapter 88

“Oh, so this is the Sea Guardian’s bracelet…”

After Lucas left the villa.

I stared at Sea Guardian’s bracelet, which I was borrowing.

With this item and my abundant magic power, I can freely move around in the sea.

I wonder what kind of materials are in the sea. Shells, coral, fish scales?

Just imagining collecting materials in the sea makes me grin.

“…You, your face has been unsettling since earlier.”

“Isn’t it natural? To have such a wonderful item become mine!”

Although I try to explain the greatness of this item, Klaus refuses to converse and opens a book.

If you’ve invited someone as a guest, you should properly attend to them.

Sighing, I sit down on the sofa, and then the door is gently knocked.

“Brother, is Lucas-sama finished with his business?”

Opening the door and poking her head in is Klaus’s younger sister, Nelge.

“Oh, if it’s him, you can take him.”

“Isn’t ambushing me and treating me so casually a bit much?”

Once the favor is done, I’m out of his mind.

When I comment on Klaus’ bad attitude, Nelge looks greatly surprised.

Oops, it’s probably not good to speak so casually in front of family members like that.

“I’m sorry, I got a little carried away. I’ll change my tone right away.”

“No! Please, continue speaking like that! Since my brother has no friends, please be friendly with him!”

I thought so, Klaus really doesn’t have any close friends.

“Hey, Nelge! What nonsense are you saying!”

“Shuu-san, let’s talk!”

“If it’s okay with you, definitely.”

Klaus spoke with indignation, but Nelge ignored him as if nothing had happened.

I didn’t want to get caught up in Klaus’s anger, so I eagerly accepted Nelge’s suggestion.

Klaus protested from behind, but Nelge shut him out by closing the door as we stepped into the hallway.

It seems that being Klaus’s sister, she knows how to handle him well. She seemed very adept at it.

Nelge then led me to the room where we first met.

By the way, Lucas’s request isn’t so urgent, so there’s no need to start on it right away.

Considering activities at sea and emergency defense, it’s not an immediate request to begin with.

“Oh, it seems Shuu-san’s business is finished. Please have a seat over there.”

“Then, please excuse me.”

Solange was already sitting on the sofa in the room, and when we entered, she welcomed us with joy.

Nelge sat down next to Solange, and I took a seat opposite them.

It’s a bit nerve-wracking to sit face-to-face with two beautiful women. There are plenty of beautiful women in Grantel, but both of them being nobles makes the atmosphere completely different.

A maid handed us our tea as we sat down.

A small bottle containing orange syrup, separate from sugar and milk, was placed there.

“Could this be the nectar from Cressenka that Shuu-san brought?”

“Yes, exactly. It’s of very high quality and goes exceptionally well with tea.”

“Nelge, you should try some too. It’s delicious.”

Solange may have already added some and drank it, or she recommended it while taking advantage of the maid’s explanation.

“Well then…”

Nelge used a spoon to add the Cressenka nectar, then stirred it into the tea.

Then, she delicately lifted the teacup and took a sip.

“Ah… it has a gentle scent and sweetness of honey.”

Nelge expressed her thoughts as if sighing in relief.

“Even when you’re tired, drinking this seems to energize you.”

“Yes, it seems like it would be delicious even chilled during the summer.”

Good, it seems that the Cressenka nectar suited Solange and Nelge’s taste buds.

Feeling relieved, I also mixed in some nectar and took a sip.

Indeed, the tea leaves prepared in noble households have an elegant flavor. The aroma is also very rich.

“By the way, Shuu-san, were you once involved in making accessories for a living?”

While enjoying a different type of tea than usual, Nelge asked.

Not only Nelge but also Solange seemed quite interested, and it was evident that both of them held a strong interest in accessories.

I, on the other hand, am just an amateur who started as a hobby. Being compared to a properly trained artisan would make me feel inadequate.

“No, this is more like a recent hobby I’ve taken up. I haven’t undergone any training like a professional artisan.”

“But this is magic steel, isn’t it? I heard that considerable training is required to shape magic steel…?”

Nelge pointed out with earrings, making a valid point.

Indeed, being Klaus’s sister, she seemed knowledgeable.

“It seems that I have more magical energy than average, so I can continue making things for longer periods than ordinary people. However, I’m still inexperienced since I’ve only just begun.”

“That’s not true at all. Shuu-san’s earrings have a design I’ve never seen before and are very sophisticated.”

“Yes, I’d like to see more of your work.”

This implies they’d like to see the accessories I’ve made, right?

“I have brought some items with me. Would you like me to show you?”

“Oh, please do! We’d love to see them!”

“I would love to show you right away, but I left the bag containing the accessories with Engi-san, so could we have him bring it here?”

They’re actually in my magic bag, but it’s not something I want to advertise too openly.

“Oh, I see. Please escort Shuu-san to his room.”

“Understood.”

Directed by Solange, the maid escorted me to my room and left.

We climbed the stairs near the entrance and walked along a long corridor.

From the corridor, you could overlook a splendid garden, offering a magnificent view.

“Here is your room, sir.”

With those words, I entered, finding a room spacious enough to accommodate about thirty tatami mats.

There were sofas, tables, chairs, a large bed, and other furniture neatly arranged, resembling a room in a luxury hotel.

“…Is this really my room?”

“Would you have preferred a larger room, sir?”

Perhaps mistaking my muttered dissatisfaction, the maid timidly suggested while peeking at me.

“No! It’s not dissatisfaction! I was just a little surprised, but this room is perfectly fine!”

“Is that so? If you have any complaints, please don’t hesitate to tell me. I’ll be waiting in the corridor.”

With that, the maid left the room.

If it were any larger, I’d definitely feel uneasy.

Now isn’t the time to be impressed by the size of the assigned room.

I need to hurry back and not keep Nelge and Solange waiting.

I left the backpack on the sofa open and took out a small case from my magic bag.

Opening it revealed the accessories I had prepared for today.

Yeah, with a case this size, it should be believable if I say it was in my backpack.

With the case of accessories in hand, I rejoined the maid and returned to the first-floor room.
